“Brittny is great! Digby felt right at home and he loved playing with her kids and their dog Benji for hours and hours in their huge yard! She sent great happy photos over the weekend, and is easy to work with around pick up and drop off. We are so happy we found this loving family.”
“Kelly was super responsive and friendly and when we met her you could truly see that she is a dog lover. We felt so comfortable leaving Riley with her and her family. She sent us updates and photos throughout the weekend and she always appeared happy. Riley came home exhausted likely from playing with her doodle companions all weekend. Would highly recommend.”
“Ann is a wonderful pet sitter. He took care of our dog Bingo for 6 days and treated him as part of their family. I received daily updates and pictures. Bingo enjoyed his time with Ann and her daughter. Thank you for taking good care of our little fur baby ?”
“We are so happy we found Peiyi to board our dog Jackson. We were going away and we needed someone we could trust for an extended stay of 17 days. Peiyi and her husband is amazing. From the start she was very responsive to our request and to all of our questions which ensured us that Jackson will be in great hands. She is flexible with our requests of our specific pick up and drop off times. She gave updates and sent us pictures. Jackson after coming home seems happy and the same and not sad at all since we were concerned that we were away for quite some time. You can tell she’s very knowledgeable about dogs and loves dogs. We also loved the fact that she was 30 min away and her rates were affordable. This was our first time with Peiyi but definitely won’t be our last. We would definitely use her services again in the near future and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Kariss and Daniel made the process of dropping off my pup Annie very welcoming and stress-free. They have two lovely little pups as well, which made me feel better about leaving her for a few days. She got a couple park visits to play fetch, and even some snugglin'. When I came back to get her she was happy and tired, the best combo! If I need a sitter in Denver again, they'll be my first choice.”
“Sujanna was great to Sidney and great to work with!! She sent multiple updates and pictures every day. I could tell that Sidney was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Sujanna as a dog sitter and look forward to using her again.”
“I cannot speak highly enough about the incredible care Christina and Nick provided for our Sammy. From the very first meet-and-greet to the final pickup, it was clear that our pup was in warm, capable, and loving hands. Daily updates with an abundance of adorable photos gave us peace of mind. If you're looking for dependable, experienced, and compassionate pet sitters who truly treat your pets like family, look no further. Christina and Nick are the gold standard.”
“Raymond was excellent with Benji, and gave regular updates on how things were going. Benji enjoyed his weekend with Raymond and we will definitely be booking again. Thanks so much!!”
“Lincoln and I are so lucky to have found Tammy. He has really bonded with Tammy and her dog's. He feels so relaxed and at home there! It makes traveling out of the area so much easier when you know your fur baby is safe and happy!”
“Molly took such great care of Milo! She kept me updated with pictures throughout his stay, and he always looked so happy. She was also super accommodating and flexible with my last-minute request. I’m so happy to have found someone nearby who I feel comfortable leaving Milo with. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Yesenia did a great job of looking after Charlie for a few days. He loved playing with her dog as well as other dogs that she was sitting. I highly recommend!”
“Vanessa and Kayla have been such a blessing to find. My frenchie took to them and their pup Nolan after the first meet which was comforting to see! They communicate often through his stay, with cute pictures and updates and spoil him with attention. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a comfortable stay for their pet, and will allow for your mind to be at ease.”
“Kyungwon and Henry were absolutely wonderful sitters! They were so caring with my pup and paid close attention to every detail of his schedule. Since he’s still a puppy, they took extra care to keep up with his nap times and made sure he was comfortable around their other dogs. They also sent so many photos and videos throughout the day, so I never had to wonder how he was doing. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Their communication and thoughtful care gave us complete peace of mind. We highly recommend them and would happily have our little one stay again!”
“We are so very thankful for you, Morgan! Thank you so very much for taking care of our Myrtle, and keeping her safe. We are grateful she had such a caring person to give her love & look after her while we were away. :)”
“Marisol and John were the best to take care of our pups! They are so sweet and caring. They have an amazing fenced backyard! Our pups ran their hearts out everyday! My dogs always try to leave in a hurry from a sitter, but this time they didn’t want to leave. Our pups love them; I think more than they love us.. lol .. Marisol and John are very attentive and have a very warm household. The entire family is awesome!”
“Thank you for making Niko feel at home while we were away! He seemed like he was cared for and loved at your house! I know he’s already looking forward to his next opportunity to spend time with Milo and your family!”
“It was a pleasure working with Matthew! He is an excellent communicator and was very flexible with our schedule. He took wonderful care of Summer, providing regular photo updates and real-time feedback that gave me complete peace of mind. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Mahwah can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Mahwah home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Mahwah.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mahwah. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Mahwah sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
